Abstract

A receptacle terminal includes a base portion having a plate shape extending in a transverse direction and a longitudinal direction and a plurality of pairs of elastic arms arranged in sequence and spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction. Each of the elastic arms has a contact portion contacting a plug terminal inserted into the receptacle terminal. A distance from the contact portions of a middle pair of elastic arms to the base portion is less than a distance from the contact portions of another two pairs of elastic arms to the base portion.
